#F9A872 sits at 24° on the color wheel, placing it in the orange family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 92% saturation and 71% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 249, 168, 114 produces a 10.87:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #F9A872 is a clear variant of CSS salmon — about 40 units away from #FA8072. Designers reach for orange hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want lift, air, and gentle emphasis. On screen the warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
